The country’s space agency shared on  X (formerly Twitter) the images captured by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) August 15, and visuals from the Lander Imager (LI) Camera-1 August 17 —  just after the separation of the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module.

The Lander Module comprising the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan) will Friday be lowered to an orbit that takes it closer to the Moon’s surface for the soft landing on the Lunar south pole August 23.
